If you prioritize a vast, immersive display for HDR gaming and media with deep contrast and vibrant colors, the AOC PD49's larger, ultrawide screen is a standout option despite its higher cost. However, for a balance of high-quality gaming with good color accuracy in a smaller, more desk-friendly size, the LG 27GR95QE offers excellent performance at a lower price. The LG's OLED technology still delivers great contrast and color intensity, suitable for both casual and competitive gaming. But for wide color gamut tasks like print photo editing or HDR video editing, the AOC's capabilities make it a better fit if budget allows. Give Feedback

PC Gamer

Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
